In 2016 an Irish men’s under-19 national team was established as the first under-age national lacrosse team in Ireland’s history. The team made it to the U19 World Championships in Vancouver, Canada where they placed 7th in the world. I sat town with the midfield player, Cormac Ring to talk about the teams achievement and the future of this developing sport in Ireland.

These events will be used to select the Irish men’s senior national team (field) which will compete in the 2018 World Championships in Manchester, England (12-21 July 2018), and they will also be used to select the Éire team which will be competing in the ‘Festival’ tournament taking place alongside the World Championships. – Ireland Lacrosse
